What is this?

A famous French tightrope walker, Denis Josselin, completed a walk over the river Seine in Paris on Sunday.

It took him 30 minutes to walk over 150 meters (492 feet) of rope, while 25 meters (82 feet) above the river.

“I am the last tightrope walker that got the authorisation to cross the Seine river, it was ten years ago. So, these occasions are so rare that I am enjoying them as much as possible,” Josselin said after his performance.

Several hundred people were watching Josselin as he balanced on a tightrope, crossing the Seine river.
